normal because those omelets won’t sustain us for long, and we’re almost out
    of groceries.”
    “Oh, okay, thanks.”
    Jake didn’t move out of the doorway, so I had to squeeze past him. Our bodies meshed together,
    and I fought the familiar tingle that prickled over my skin at being so close to him. It was a feeling I
    wasn’t used to experiencing with anyone. Once I was inside, I turned back to him. “It’s very sweet of
    you to give me the bedroom. The privacy is nice.”
    He inched closer to me. “Well, just to forewarn you the lock is busted. So if you need me to watch
    the door while you change into something a little more comfortable, I’d be happy to. You know, so the
    guys don’t get a peek at your goods.”
    “How sweet of you,” I noted as I moved in front of him. Bringing my hand to his chest, I gave him
    a hard shove, sending him flying out into the hallway. “I’ll make sure to put my luggage in front of the
    door just in case.” With a sickeningly, sweet smile, I added, “And thanks again for being so thoughtful

    when it comes to my goods.”
    Behind Jake, the guys hooted with laughter. Instead of anger, amusement twinkled in his sky blue
    eyes. He wagged his finger at me. “I’ll get to you sometime, Angel. I’ll break down all those goody
    girl walls you have built around you.”
    “We’ll just have to wait and see then.” With that, I slammed the door in his face.
    The RV shuddering to a halt jolted me awake. My eye-lids fluttered open. As I took in my
    darkened surroundings, panic crept over me. Wait, where the hell was I? Gazing around the
    blackened room, I tried getting my bearings. “Ugh,” I muttered when all the events of the day raced
    through my mind.
    When the lamp on the bedside table came on, I jumped out of my skin. Jake perched on the side of
    the bed, practically on top of me. “W-What the hell are you doing?” I cried, jerking the sheet against
    me.
    He rolled his eyes. “Don’t get your panties in a twist, Angel. I’m not here for a repeat performance
    of this morning.” With a wave of a shoe, he added, “I’m sorry to have disrupted your beauty sleep,
    but all my shit’s in here.”
    “Oh, I’m sorry,” I murmured.
    “Besides that, we’re stopping for dinner, so I figured I’d better wake you up.”
    “Thanks.”
    He cocked his pierced brow at me. “Did you know that you snore?”
    My eyes widened in horror. “I do not!”
    “Yeah, you do.”
    Covering my mouth, I muttered, “Oh God, I do?”
    Jake grinned as he bobbed his head. “It’s kinda cute though. Nothing like the loud-as-fuck snores
    me and the guys do.”
    “How mortifying.”
    “You embarrass too easily, Angel. How are you going to make it a week with us if a little snoring
    gets you so riled up?”
    “I’ll be just fine thank you.”
    AJ peeked his head in. “Hey, I need to get my stuff.”
    “Go right ahead.” I threw the sheet back. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll get my things and go to the
    bathroom so I can get dressed for dinner.”
    Jake opened his arms wide before collapsing onto his back on the bed. “Be my guest.”
    When he didn’t move, I grunted in frustration. Just as I started to climb over Jake, AJ flung the
    closet door open to get out his clothes. Since we were in such close quarters with the bus’s bedroom,
    I couldn’t move. To my utter horror, I’d gotten stuck straddling Jake.
    When I caught his eye, he grinned and winked at me. My face flushed. “AJ, would you hurry up
    with the freakin’ door!” I snapped.
    He peeked around the side and snorted back his laughter. “Whoops, my bad.”
    I sighed with exasperation. “Any day now, AJ!” The moment I said it, I knew he’d take his own
    sweet ass time—anything to keep me in the precarious situation of riding Jake.
    “You don’t have to go, Angel. I’m sure this could be a win-win situation for both of us,” Jake
    teased.
    I stared at him for a moment before flopping back on the other
